Young Kenyans orphaned by violence - 12 Feb 08

In Kenya, there are signs of a possible breakthrought in the political deadlock that's fuelled violent clashes between rival supporters.

However, young Kenyans left orphaned by the recent violence have been telling Al Jazeera about their horror at seeing their families massacred.

As John Cookson reports, many will need psychological counselling.

To you all who have bad things to say need GOD in your life if you had him this would hurt your heart to see children going though this and to the person who said they all need to die from aids you really need help what if this was your child then how would feel. Just think if it was you!!!!!!!

[SamaLG3]

How about everyone on here who has said nothing but stupid things, goes and tries to live one day like these children and then come back and tell me you still see the world with the same eyes. God forbid you ever have to go through something like this. No one deserves this treatment. How about we all act a little more mature and actually try and help out with this situation that has been going on for far to long.

Why East Africans fight sooooooo much. If you go to west Africa you dont see such things because of thier a democratic system. You people should learn from the Ghanians. Ghana is the strongest Country in the whole Africa because we dont have wars and the country is safe. Muslims and christians get along in Ghana. All Africa should learn from the Ghanians.

The comments on this are really messed up. No person is better than any other nor is any country better than another. Let's stop acting like children and quit being so competitive. For God's sake, this video is about something powerful that we need to consider, so lets stop making stupid poorly written comments.

[SerenityHalo]

The media doesn't portray Africa correctly. You should go there before saying something like that.

[agongaz]

what do you consider the fight between the sunnis and the shiites isn't that a tribal war. and i bet you are from a country close to that. and you clearly said that they are uncivilized. i bet you are uncivilized too. any reply to this or not will confirm that...fool

Umeshindwa useme nini sasa mjinga wewe.Jua kuwa sisi kutoka Kenya au Africa sio watumwa,and wherever we are around the world we have a home to go back to,so don't use that nigger term on us.Unaweza kuongea kiswahili,kikamba,kikuyu,kijad­he na english on top of it all?Wacha kuwa jealous.

[jotaya]

Africa is the cradle of humanity,get your history right Mr,or, maybe not Mr.You are are mistaken big time coz,some of my American best friends and from history,i know that there is not a native people called whites.White is the color of the skin.America is made up of many different pple from all over the world,Polish,French,Germans,It­alians etc.All these pple intermarried,therefore,America is not any particular group of whites or blacks but a mixture.Indians[Native Americans] are the REAL deal.
